I'm entering a dessert contest - making my mom's Prune Spice Cake

Yes, I know - Prunes.

But damnit, this cake is really really good!

1. Prunes are under appreciated.

delightfully sweet.

My nephew refers to them as raisins on steroids.

[Demoiselle]

2. I LOVE prunes..They love me back a little too much...still, they're worth it.

I'll bet your cake is fabulous and will you share the recipe after you've won the contest?

4. It's just a local work contest - check your inbox

My mother use to make 2 of these cakes for a cake stand at the yearly carnival in our hometown (one of those roulette style games where you win cake instead of money). One woman said she came every year the first night just to win the prune spice cake.

5. Prune cake is Mr. Laurel's favorite

His grandmother made it for him every year for his birthday when he was a child. His mother gave me the recipe when we first shacked up.

6. You must mean Spiced Dried Plum Cake

Dried plum sounds better than prune.
